Let's Celebrate Pride!

A crowd of people of all races and ethnicities are shown, some clearly in couples, of both mixed and same sex, some single figures, some in family groups, all are clearly happy and celebrating together as a community with their arms around each other. Three flags are also being waved in the image, one is the classic Pride Rainbow Flag, featuring horizontal stripes in red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple from top to bottom, and the other two are the Progress Pride Flag, featuring the same 6 coloured horizontal stripes paired with an inset triangular design on the left-hand (pole) side of the flag featuring white, pink, turquoise, brown and black chevron stripes moving from left to right. The top (Rainbow) and bottom (Progress Pride) flags are animated to look as though they are fluttering in the breeze

 

If there's one thing we love at Hallmark, it's helping you live a caring, connected life full of meaningful moments, no matter who you are or who you love. So we've written a little about how we're moving towards being more inclusive and welcoming to everyone... and celebrating Pride whilst we do it.
